This time I remembered . There have been times when I haven’t but this time I did . Today marks the 32nd year of marriage to an immigrant whom I’m delighted to say has quite fluently taken butchery of the English language to an artist level .
Years ago I wrote a little story about how I was entertained by some of the words she used or better yet, about how she used them. I always go as long as I can without correcting because she’s Latina and gets pissed off when corrected or laughed at and besides …I do so enjoy them.
Most of those old ones are gone now but pleasantly new ones still spring up regularly . Like going to the bank to “catch” a check . Some times she makes a “loafmeat” and lately I’ve been grilling a lot of boneless chicken “ties”. Just yesterday out of the blue she had interest in making home made “corned cream” ….. I could go on but I mustn’t let her catch me writing this .
I just wanted you all to know that this morning she was delighted that it was me who was the first to say ……
” Happy University Hon !”
